I take it Forced Induction is out?

Here is what RENNtech offers for your 2012 E350 (Weistec and Eurocharged didn't have anything)...

You could also explore just getting some K&N air filters. They are a little cheaper than BMC because they aren't shipped from Italy.

Your current intake system is tuned and has variable flaps for different needs. What do you want? Turbo? Supercharged?

I believe the factory intake system is the best setup possible on these cars. You could drop a couple performance filter in there for increased air flow. Go for the dry filters that don't use oil. AFE makes one.
Magnum FLOW OER Pro DRY S Air Filter; Mercedes-Benz C/E/ML-Class 12-14 V6-3.5L
31-10250"
Do a search for performance filters for your car and go from there.

Our intake is pretty dam good already. I would just drop a K&N filter in there. Get some headers and down pipes and ECU reflash if you are looking for hp increase.

For the price of the performance air filters you could almost get an ECU tune from what I've read. IDK about the options for the 350 but I would guess it would increase the power more and be a lasting upgrade versus the filters. Maybe someone else can clarify better?

Like this one - http://www.oetuning.com/products/mer...-benz-e350-3-5
